Note: This page is only for existing customers that already have a Racingline ECU tune. If you do not currently have a Racingline  ECU tune, please click here

Ready to transform your 'higher output' 300-333PS gen.4 car?

The RacingLine Stage 3 upgrade uses a replacement Garrett GT2563 turbocharger for highly impressive power gains up to 512ps and 648Nm. Very fast yet very cost-effective!

The RacingLine ECU calibration and RacingLine hardware achieves the maximum power output from the factory fuel system, while staying well within the safe power limits of the stock engine internals.

Very importantly, it achieves this level of power gain without sacrificing reliability, or drivability.

Stage 3 Hardware Requirements:

One of the best aspects of this RacingLine Stage 3 Kit is that it needs little supporting hardware.

The mandatory hardware is as follows:

• Garrett PowerMax GT2563
• RacingLine MQB 'Evo' Intercooler
• RacingLine R600 Intake Pack:
• R600 Intake
• Turbo 90 Inlet
• Silicone Turbo Inlet
• Turbo Muffler Delete
• Downpipe with High-Flow Catalyst
• GPF-delete (if relevant)

 

What is PDM?

Power Delivery Module is our latest user option to further enhance the Performance Software experience. PDM is our end-user tool to allow customers to install the RacingLine calibrations themselves. By purchasing this optional PDM Tool, you'll get access to exactly the same full Software Suite for your car as our RacingLine Performance Softwaredealers do. 

But the difference is that the PDM tool allows you to install, remove, upgrade or change your calibration yourself, any time, any where. 

Of course the PDM tool is not required to enjoy our Performance Software, and won't be everyone's choice. Our Software Dealer network will still be the main route for many customers to supply and install their calibration.

Why choose PDM?

Instead of having to travel to your local dealer each time you want a software install, upgrade or removal, PDM gives you the option to take full control of your RacingLine Software yourself.

With PDM, you can install your choice of software, upgrade to the next stage of tuning, vary between fuel octanes and even flash the car back to stock. All from the comfort of your own garage or driveway, at any time.  

As all RacingLine Performance Software comes with our Free Upgrades programme, there’s zero cost to switch between any of the calibrations available for your vehicle.

PDM App-Connect 

Racingline's PDM App-Connect is now available as a free download on the Apple Store and Google Play store, allowing our PDM customers to download the RacingLine App to take control of their tuning - directly from their smartphone.

The Power Delivery Module and PDM App-Connect allows you to access the full RacingLine Performance Software calibration suite for your car. With PDM App-Connect, you can quickly and safely reflash your ECU and TCU anywhere, provided you have a decent phone/data signal on your smartphone. 

How does App-Connect work?

Once you have purchased your PDM kit from your RacingLine Software Dealer, all you need to do is to download the RacingLine App from either Google Play Store or Apple Store (links below). And that's completely free!

Then simply connect your phone wirelessly via Bluetooth to the PDM Dongle, and perform all of the same functionality that your laptop gives you:

• Tune your car using your smartphone
• Swap between different fuel grades
• Change to different tune levels
• Activate Theft Protect function (where available)
• Return to stock any time
• Check for fault codes (DTCs) and erase

 

Now, with App-Connect, all you need is a decent phone data signal, and all of these functions can be carried out wherever you are, whenever you want.
